Art as a Living Language
Florence and Tuscany are the lands where the Italian language was born: not only the spoken language of Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch but also the visual language that forever changed Western art. From Giotto to Donatello, through Botticelli and culminating in Michelangelo, three centuries of extraordinary minds shaped the aesthetics and thought of the Western world. A fortunate coincidence? Perhaps not.
